Priority Pass now includes more than 1000 airport lounges in over 500 cities and is this year celebrating its 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s overall winner is Club Kingston, at <span class=\"xn-location\">Jamaica&#8217;s<\/span> Kingston Norman Manley International Airport. With a decidedly Jamaican flair, the lounge features artwork and d\u00e9cor sourced from across the country plus local food and drink including traditional Jamaican patties and peas soup &#8211; all served to a gentle soundtrack of reggae music. An on-site bartender even creates signature cocktails, including a &#8216;Club Kingston Classic&#8217;, &#8216;Priority Passion&#8217; and &#8216;VIP Splash&#8217;. But it&#8217;s not all pleasure! The lounge also offers excellent facilities to support business travelers on the move, including a conference facility and dedicated work stations.<\/p>\n<p>Tallinn Airport Business Lounge at the Lennart Meri Airport Tallin, <span class=\"xn-location\">Estonia<\/span> was crowned Best Lounge in <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> by Priority Pass Members, closely followed by La Valette Club in <span class=\"xn-location\">Malta<\/span> International Airport. <span class=\"xn-location\">Tallinn&#8217;s<\/span> Airport Business Lounge was designed to give travelers the feeling that they are waiting for their flight in the comfort of their own living room and aims to live up to the airport&#8217;s customer promise of being &#8220;the worlds cosiest airport&#8221;.

They have greater expectations and choice when it comes to airport experiences which delight and surprise. As a result, we&#8217;re seeing increased investment and recognition of the value of lounges from airports, airlines, financial institutions and other organizations worldwide. This can only be great news for both business and leisure travelers as there is a wider choice on offer to meet the different needs of individuals. During 2017 we&#8217;ve seen this reflected in our member feedback, with lounges in different destinations recognized for their service, food and drink and business facilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Club MCO at <span class=\"xn-location\">Orlando<\/span> International Airport in <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> was ranked top for Best Business Facilities, with its &#8216;Productivity Zone&#8217; (designed to help guests conduct business calls in private and provide a quiet space to work) proving very popular with travelers.

Elsewhere, The Club BWI in Baltimore <span class=\"xn-location\">USA<\/span>, was recognized for the service and attitude of its lounge staff.<\/p>\n<p>In the <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia Pacific<\/span> region, SATS Premier Lounge Terminal 3 at the world-renowned Singapore Changi International Airport, was named Regional Lounge of the Year. The lounge is known for giving its guests a chance to experience Singaporean culture, featuring real orchids, a display of Peranakan porcelain plus artwork depicting local scenes, decorating the lounge &#8211; which also hosts regular events, (such as serving fresh mooncakes during the Mooncake festival) ensuring that visitors are treated to a unique experience each time they enter the lounge. Its signature SATS Laksa meal is also a favourite for travelers.<\/p>\n<p>Ahlan Business Class Lounge at Dubai International was named Lounge of the Year for the <span class=\"xn-location\">Middle East<\/span> &amp; <span class=\"xn-location\">Africa<\/span>.
